some acknowledgement from the politicians that working class are valued.

Politicians are the biggest bludgers in the country. They get free accommodation, free food, free travel, give themselves pay rises not performance based. Continue to get benefits/privilege’s after they have left their jobs, badly done or not. All this is off the back of working class, I know no other job that gets these privilege’s & they ask us to forsake us making a decent living to merely exist bringing up families. Come on kiwis start asking them to make sacrifices with their living expectations & conditions. Don’t just except it

FPA is a woke-tard dreamt up idea by someone who is trying to justisfy their own importance and to justisfy relevance of there own position.

Fair pay will allow me to make modest choices in life rather than having to make sacrifices just to get by. People at the bottom keep the money circulating that keeps the economy going – we don’t have the luxury of locking wealth away that does nothing for the common good. Please support essential services by valuing the people that work hard to deliver them.

I work right next to these people, who offer essential services and infrastructure to the people of New Zealand. Employees who are content and motivated are inclined to deliver work of high quality and actively participate in their assigned tasks, with less turnover. We are paying contracts/contractors good money but getting second rate products.

Be on the right side of history!

we need retain our best

How to do you continue public services if all of the public servants leave their employment because they simply can’t afford to stay – despite us all having a commitment to serve the public.

How do you build healthcare systems, justice systems, education systems IF YOU HAVE NO STAFF!!


We struggle to make ends meet as it is – giving years and tens of thousands of dollars to serve the public, just to be told that despite the rise in living expenses my qualification, time and sacrifice is not worthy of fair pay. Retention of staff, quality of working conditions and burn out is clearly not a priority for this incoming government.


We are not asking for excess, we are asking for FAIR.

Fair Pay Agreement protects employees from money hungry employers who want a big fat profit and don’t care about their employees, nor the employees well-being. Many people are struggling with the cost of living, this opens it up for business owners to line their own pockets even more and stuff the employees. It’s all about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Fair pay means fair treatment no matter what gender or race .

We deserve to have fair pay , the government now that is leading is only benefiting the rich

FPA’s is about recognising and supporting the amazing work Kaimahi do errespective of their sex, nationality, denomination, colour of skin or gender. It also reflects the committment, longevity and sacrifice people make to remain committed to buisnesses and organisations.

Fair pay agreements are to give workers a fair shot at decent pay and safe, healthy working conditions. Predatory employers exploited workers and the 90 day trial, firing people before they had to give the worker a permanent job, allowing the business to tap into WINZ for a perpetual supply of minimum wage slaves. This is disgusting, but that is what they new govt want.

This important for workers who have been underpaid for years.

I can barely afford surviving nowadays. My family is living on bare minimum and it needs to change.

We need to become a nation of equals, not a nation at the service of the few to the cost of the many.

Sadly our political system is under researched, ideologically driven and locked into an adversarial mindset that abdicates value in the simplistic worship of money and profit as opposed to human flourishing.

We all deserve to be paid what we are worth

For a young person who’s in there 20’s, working in Countdown store at night, trying to make ends meet and saving for a first home deposit. Removal of the FPA would diminish a lot of young people’s dream of living here and would result in mass exodus brain drain, cause of higher house prices, high cost of living and life outside of work to contend between.


There’s a lot of talk around that FPA is only solely good for employees, that isn’t the case! Businesses can get greater gains from the FPA too, but you need to embrace change from your financial income statements. You need to work collaboratively(Employer & Employees) as a group at ways how the business can bring efficiency(example: alternative products, department restructure, investing in low cost technology boosting productivity and moving employee to more productive role) and lowering cost, so it displaces high cost for higher wages/fairer wages! It can enable businesses to expand more rapidly and retain good relations between Employer & Employees instead of having bad relations. Customers can get gains too by businesses, by providing cheaper products or services. What businesses need to do is embrace change, good business model, look towards ‘alternatives’, not fear change! It be win-win for every stakeholder!

Fair pay for a fair days work – everyone wins!
